Gene- you're making it hard for us music journalists to report on this issue. I guess we'll just have to write more and more and more and more stories until you decide. Whatever will those poor Maloofs do -- the victims of all this unwanted publicity?

LOL

As I've said before, great chips. I have to give you credit, you take on the toughest business-people in the rock world. Long before "The Osbounres" was a hit, I learned how tough Sharon was to deal with. And I think Gene and Paul may be the only rock personalities who could stare her down at a business meeting. If you deal with any of them and go home with your own pen and the deed to your house, you obviously have cajones of steel. I can't believe Gene didn't demand the underwear of all the Real World girls just to get in the room with you guys. Then again, maybe he did.
